After some confusion with maps and roads we finally headed up (or rather down, as we had cycled/walked some 100 metres up before hitting this right of way) the track to Glen Tilt.

Really on our way now, beside River Tilt.  

At last, the bridge we needed to cross over and get walking.  Six miles of cycling behind us, and about 7 miles to walk til we get back, unless we add in the third peak (probably an extra four miles and 300 metres ascent)

It was a relief to get off those bikes

Up, up and up.  The very steep side of Glen Tilt above Clachghias.

First steep bit done!  Carn a'Chlamain behind, for another day.

Onward across the flatter bit, before heading up Carn Liath ahead.

Crossing some little stream, looking back towards Carn a'Chlamain.

After the hard slog up the steep sides I though I was there, until I came over the rise and saw this ahead.  Taking account of the very strong winds blowing us around, and general knackerdeness this was a daunting prospect.

Looking back along the ridge we would return over, to Airglod Bheann which currently does not count as a munro, although it is higher than Carn Liath.

Time for a spot of lunch.  Anything for a rest! The summit of Carn Liath.

Impressive views always help to ease the suffering and misery.

Then it was down to the bealach between Carn Liath and Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain, for another spot of lunch while we talked ourselves into scaling the second mountain.

The path here was better, though it shortly disappeared about the same point the mist came down.  Lovely.

Rejoicing at the top of Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain.

And once we found the path the mist cleared a bit on the way down so we could look back at the Beinn Mhaol and track to Carn Liath.

Had enough, PUB.
